Hi Paul,

Unfortunately I know better on this matter and it is not the matter of
topic dispute as many people on this thread who has been disturbed and
annoyed by the padding/trolling.

So yes I'm sticking with stupid because it hurts the OpenStack community as
a whole and hurts the reputation of the dev community from my country which
in large are great people with good hearts and skills.

I'm not giving even an inch of the benefit of doubt to these padding
activities and people behind it.
